Guardians of The Lambsfoot!

[echoscout]

Morning Guardians! Lots of nice Lambs out there today. Hope everyone is having a good day. Cooler and nice weather here today. Would have liked to go to the Labor Day parade and talked with old friends. Since I'm on a big dose of diaretic that's a no go.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and those who have the holiday today are enjoying it. Spent time this weekend making things for an upcoming market in addition to celebrating our anniversary. GL-24 has been a faithful companion through it all.

Congrats on your anniversary Jeremy.

I would name my knives, but I have a very poor memory, when trying to remember them.
Getting ready for a secondary bevel, which seems to help it retain its edge.

I hope everyone has a good labor day....sorry if you have to work.

That's what I tell my kids; A, B, and C, Bob! Fine-looking Albers Lamb my friend

A nice meal tonight.

Home killed corned beef, with carrots and collards from the garden and Hannah’s sour dough. Ran out of our own spuds so they’re store bought. Nearly time to plant next seasons.

Fantastic way to live Jack

Jack, that Lambsfoot's wooden Handles is stunning! Great looking Knife

Thanks a lot pal, hope you're doing OK

Evening all.
Gave it a first touch up today.
Does an essential

Morning folks
I don't like what I think may be some software changes to the forum as in when you link or share a thread it now displays almost the whole first post of such thread with pictures and everything cluttering things up.
I edited my previous post and embebed the thread link inside a word

Anyways, what is for breakfast ?

Ok, I confess. It's a pic. No way I am cooking this early in the morning. I need loads of yerba mate first

That's irritating Dan, I appreciate your efforts my friend LOL! That would make an interesting breakfast! Cool pic

Nice choice Jer

Nice of you to let Lucy out

Well, it wasn't sunny today, so she enjoyed herself

Have a great week all...

Thanks for the kind comments on my photo of LamBarJack on the manhole cover. I had my rosewood HHB with me in Cedarville last week, and saw plenty of those Neenah Foundry covers, but the photo was actually taken in Cedarville a couple of summers ago. It was soon after I had driven past East Jordan, MI the original base of East Jordan Iron Works (now an international conglomerate simply called EJ). Most of the manhole covers, storm sewer curb drains, fire hydrants, etc. where I'm from are from East Jordan Iron Works. I wondered why Cedarville manhole covers didn't come from EJIW, since the distance from East Jordan to Cedarville is less than 110 mi, while the distance from Neenah, WI to Cedarville is just over 300 mi. But then I remembered that the Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's 2 peninsulas opened in 1957, and if Cedarville put in their sewer system prior to that date, a shipment from East Jordan to Cedarville would have required a ferry trip across the Straits of Mackinac, which may have made the totally overland route from Neenah a cheaper alternative.

I wish we still lived in a time when even the aesthetics of a manhole cover was a consideration

Jack, in that photo it looks like the flames of Dante's Inferno are raging near the butt of your GL-24!!

I better keep an eye on that Gary!

The Lambsfoot I'll be carrying for this first week of September is Valley Jack, my 2019 desert ironwood Guardians lambsfoot:

We got some nice wood for those About the only time Wright's outperformed my expectations!

Senator Rose and an apple

An apple a day will help the patina stay!

Happy Labor Day Guardians !


Twisted Lamb today. I spent some time yesterday and rounded the edges of the handle. It shows the layers of micarta better as well as being more comfortable in hand

Beauty!

Good time all around Jack. My wife keeps threatening to take me to England for my 50th birthday. Should that happen I will try to call by on a Thursday.

That sounds like a great plan Pete!

Happy Anniversary Jeremy You are very industrious my friend

Sorry that you couldn't get to the parade David, but I hope you're having a nice day

It's rained quite a bit here today, and I have had quite a busy day, which hasn't stopped yet. However, I did get a late Vietnamese lunch, with some delicious pho, and was able to catch up with a friend over coffee Back to work I'm afraid!

 

[Jack Black]

Thanks buddy, I'm having a nice relaxing day !

That's good to hear Steve

Soup looks nice Leon, but I hope you get some warmer weather soon

Was up early so just having a coffee, you have a good evening.

I think perhaps a Lambsfoot worthy of a Guardian? I hope you agree 4" closed Lambsfoot dressed in Rams Horn... Damasteel blade and shield

Thanks Steve!

Thank you Barrett!

That would be nice..
Maybe the wife thinks it's your last hoorah, 50 all down hill from there

Hope everyone had a great weekend and those who have the holiday today are enjoying it. Spent time this weekend making things for an upcoming market in addition to celebrating our anniversary. GL-24 has been a faithful companion through it all.

Congratulations on the anniversary mate.

An accurate prediction in my case!

Especially with those British doctors you have had to deal with.

Thanks Jack, I do like Micarta and I think it looks much better after my handle re-shape.
